Zero-day attacks, advanced persistent threats (APTs), and malware—these are just a few
examples of how innovative, persistent, and motivated cybercriminals have become. And
as attackers discover new ways to breach your organization, security professionals struggle
to deal with those cyber attacks because they lack the visibility, tools, and expertise to
coordinate an effective security solution. Attackers take advantage of these gaps in security
to evade detection and conceal malicious activity. As attacks become more advanced, so
must the security solutions organizations use to protect themselves.
More than ever, organizations need superior visibility, continuous control, and advanced
threat protection across their entire network. Cisco® Advanced Malware Protection (AMP)
for Meraki MX provides exactly that level of security.
AMP + Meraki MX: Comprehensive Security
Cisco AMP, together with the Threat Grid for Meraki MX Unified Threat Management (UTM),
provides a cloud-based security management platform with advanced threat protection.
The solution’s advanced threat capabilities allow organizations to move beyond traditional
detection tools and gain visibility into malware threats across all branch locations and
remote offices, giving them the ability to quickly detect, contain, and remediate breaches.

Ideal for distributed enterprises and small to medium-sized business, AMP for Meraki
provides:
Deep Visibility into Threats
Today’s cyber attacks are stealthy. To protect against them you need solutions that provide
visibility into your network’s threat landscape, across multiple sites and over time. AMP for
Meraki MX goes beyond traditional detection capabilities to capture and analyze file and
traffic activity continuously, across your entire network. This gives you increased visibility
into what is happening—or has happened—across your network.
Reduced Time to Detection
Threats can and will get in. When they do, you need to detect them quickly and take action.
With AMP for Meraki, security teams can take advantage of retrospective malware alerts.
These alerts will notify customers if a file is found to be malicious after it has already passed
through the network perimeter, shortening the time to detection.
Features
• Enhanced threat protection:
AMP provides industry-leading threat
protection at the network perimeter to
help prevent attacks before a breach.
• Continuous file monitoring: AMP continues
to monitor, analyze, and record file activity
to quickly detect malware that evades
front-line defenses and to help you scope
a compromise and quickly respond.
• Retrospective alerting: AMP will notify
administrators retroactively of malicious files
entering the network, even when those files
were not known to be malicious at the time.
• Advanced malware analysis: A highly
secure environment helps you launch and
analyze malware against a large set of
behavioral indicators so you can discover
previously unknown zero-day threats.
• Centralized security management:
The solution gives you an all-in-one,
cloud-managed network security platform
with the ability to manage security,
network, and application control across
all branches from one central location.
• Talos threat research: AMP checks all
files entering the network against the
global Talos database to determine
whether they are malicious.

Advanced Sandboxing Capabilities
Threat Grid for the Meraki MX gives you deep visibility into even the
most sophisticated malware through advanced sandboxing technology.
Security administrators can send unknown files to either a cloud or
on-premises sandbox so that the malware can be run safely in a virtual
environment and inspected for malicious content. This allows security
teams to understand what the malware is doing, what processes it’s
affecting, and what changes it’s making. This capability gives them more
accurate, context-rich analytics than ever before.
Simplified Security Management
The Meraki MX UTM provides an all-in-one, cloud-managed network
security platform with the ability to manage security, networking, and
application control from one central location. Organizations benefit
from the operational efficiency and simplified management of Meraki,
while taking advantage of best-in-class threat protection and malware
analysis from AMP.
